Monk Surpasses $2 Billion in Receivables as Customers Consolidate Their AR

Published

on

Customers give their own customers a single Payment Hub to pay by ACH, wire, check, or credit card and see every invoice, statement, and payment. Monk is also now available in the Stripe App Marketplace.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Monk, the leading AI-native accounts receivable platform, today announced it has surpassed $2 billion in receivables managed. The milestone comes as finance teams move collections, cash application, and customer payments onto one automated system rather than stitching together separate tools or manual workflows. A large part of that shift is the Payment Hub, a self-serve portal where a company’s customers see every invoice and pay by ACH, wire, check, or credit card. Monk is also now available in the Stripe App Marketplace.

Getting paid on time remains one of the most challenging problems in business finance. About 55% of B2B invoiced sales in the United States are paid late, the average company waits around 43 days to collect, and only 17% of finance teams have fully automated their accounts receivable. Monk was built to close that gap by handling the follow-up, the reconciliation, and the payment in one place.

More than $2 billion in receivables now run on Monk, a marker of how quickly customers are consolidating their AR onto the platform. This reflects consolidation rather than one-off usage, as well as rapid adoption: teams tend to start on a single job, often collections, then bring cash application, customer payments, and reporting onto the same platform once they trust it. For a finance leader, the practical result is fewer systems to reconcile and a single source of truth for what is owed, what is late, and what has been paid.

“Crossing $2 billion in receivables tells us customers want one place where the invoice, the follow-up, and the payment all live together,” said George Kurdin, CEO and cofounder of Monk.

Companies get paid through the Payment Hub, a self-serve portal that each Monk customer gives to their own customers. In it, the business’ customer sees every invoice and its live status, views balances and aging, and pays by ACH, wire, check, or credit card, or enrolls in autopay, alongside payment history, statements, credit memos, downloadable PDFs, and shared documents. Because collections, cash application, and the Hub run on one platform, a payment applies to the invoice and stops the follow-up automatically.

“Customers kept asking for one simple way to let their own customers pay, and to stop fielding ‘can you resend the invoice’ emails,” said Kurdin. “That is what the Payment Hub does, and it is a major reason customers are adopting Monk for cash flow management.”

Monk is also now available in the Stripe App Marketplace. The integration connects a customer’s Stripe account to their Monk organization so invoices, payments, and reconciliation stay in sync, and teams that already bill on Stripe can adopt Monk without changing how they take payment. Credit card payments in the Payment Hub are processed through Stripe. See the Monk Stripe app at monk.com/blog/monk-stripe-app.

AiPrise Launches Token Sharing to Reduce Duplicate Compliance Checks

Published

on

By

AiPrise Token Sharing infrastructure enables financial institutions to securely exchange verified customer information, eliminate duplicate compliance work, and collaborate on ongoing compliance requests.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AiPrise, an AI-powered global compliance and verification platform, today announced the launch of AiPrise Token Sharing, a new capability that lets two companies working on the same transaction securely share verified customer information. Each institution keeps full control over its own compliance requirements and decisions.

Repeat business verifications on AiPrise have increased sixfold over the past year, with some businesses verified by as many as 13 different companies over the platform’s history. The growth reflects how payments now move: a single cross-border transaction can involve an on-ramp, a payout partner and local banking providers, each with its own onboarding.

Each of those companies typically collects the same documents and runs its own Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) checks, even when another institution has already verified the information. For compliance teams, that means duplicated work. For the business, it means slower onboarding and delayed transactions.

AiPrise Token Sharing is built to remove that duplication. Rather than sharing only a pass-or-fail verification result, it gives participating companies access to the underlying evidence, including the information provided, checks performed, sources consulted and supporting audit trail. With the verified party’s consent, receiving companies can reuse checks that meet their own requirements, request additional information where necessary and make their own compliance decisions.

alfred, BlindPay, Conduit, dLocal, KAST, Mesta, MoneyGram, nsave, Saber Money, Tazapay and Walapay are among the companies participating in the network.

Breaking Down the Compliance Silos of Global Finance

“Financial services have become deeply interconnected, but compliance is still done in isolation,” said Rushabh Shah, Co-CEO of AiPrise. “The answer isn’t asking institutions to take each other’s decisions at face value. We believe the future of compliance isn’t simply faster verification. It’s letting verified information move between institutions while each keeps its own compliance responsibilities.”

Today, when one institution passes a verification to another, compliance teams have two choices: accept the other institution’s verification as it is, or start over. AiPrise Token Sharing gives them a middle path: reuse what fits their own rules without skipping their own checks. They can reuse KYC and KYB information already collected by a partner where it meets their policy, run only the extra checks their policy requires, and raise any follow-up questions through the same token.

Unlike a one-time handoff, the token stays active for the life of the customer relationship. An institution can ask for more information or answer a request without restarting onboarding or chasing documents over email. For transactions that involve multiple financial platforms, these requests traditionally take three to five days to resolve. By letting institutions work directly through the same token, AiPrise aims to significantly reduce these delays, helping customers activate and transact sooner.

Building Compliance Infrastructure for the Global Economy

AiPrise envisions a financial system where the work behind every verification can be shared and built on across institutions, products and borders, rather than repeated with every new relationship.

Token Sharing lays the groundwork for that future, starting with transactions where institutions already work side by side.

“Businesses shouldn’t have to start from scratch every time they join a new financial platform,” said Chaitanya Sarda, CEO of AiPrise. “We know because we’ve lived it: we were KYB’d 27 times in our first six months, with each bank, payment provider and vendor asking for the same documents and checking the same registries. Verified information should be able to move with businesses as they build new financial relationships, without taking control away from the compliance teams responsible for making those decisions.”

Positron AI Named to the Inaugural 2026 AI 100 List of Top Private AI Companies

Published

By

Recognition comes amid a period of significant momentum for Positron, following its $875 million Series C and expanding AI inference deployments

RENO, Nev., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Positron AI, the AI inference hardware company built to make generative AI dramatically cheaper and more energy-efficient, today announced it has been named to the inaugural 2026 AI 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private AI companies in the world, published by Newcomer in collaboration with Bessemer Venture Partners.

The inaugural AI 100 recognizes leading private companies driving innovation across the AI ecosystem. Positron’s inclusion reflects its progress in bringing purpose-built inference technology to market as growing AI adoption drives demand for more cost- and energy-efficient infrastructure.

“We’re honored to be recognized among the companies shaping the future of AI,” said Mitesh Agrawal, CEO of Positron AI. “Making AI inference profitable, scalable and accessible takes advanced technology and a business and supply chain built to serve some of the world’s largest technology companies. Positron combines deep semiconductor and systems expertise with customer-driven development and investor backing to position us for growth. I’m proud of the business we’re building as we serve customers today and develop our next generation of technology, and grateful to our team, customers, partners and investors for their support.”

Positron’s recognition follows a series of major company milestones. In September, the company announced an $875 million Series C financing at a $5 billion valuation to accelerate development of its next-generation Asimov silicon, ramp production of Titan and expand manufacturing capacity. Positron has also deployed more than 50 racks of Atlas, its first-generation inference system, at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Most recently, the company announced a partnership with General Compute, which is purchasing Atlas systems and has committed to adopting Titan to support next-generation AI workloads.

The inaugural AI 100 evaluated nominated companies and recognized category leaders across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). Only independent AI companies that have not had a majority strategic or private equity M&A transaction or a public listing were eligible. Honorees span foundation models, AI infrastructure and compute, developer tools and agents, AI apps, vertical AI, security, physical AI and robotics, and deeptech and AI for science.

“The artificial intelligence startup set plays by its own rules: there are upstarts with unprecedented revenue growth, companies profiting off of seemingly insatiable inference spending, highly valued speculative research labs, and wildly ambitious robotics companies. These AI native startups are already reshaping the global economy. With our friends at Bessemer, we rethought what matters for the AI age, bringing together the most promising startups harnessing foundation models to transform our digital and physical world,” said Eric Newcomer, founder of Newcomer.

“The AI 100 puts a spotlight on the top 100 companies driving the AI economy forward, built by a generation of founders moving at a speed and scale we’ve never seen before. We’re already seeing that exponential value creation play out across infra, AI applications, and physical AI. The remarkable part is that it’s still early: this inaugural cohort is just the starting point, a natural evolution of our decade-long Cloud 100 franchise,” said Byron Deeter, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners.

The inaugural AI 100 is published at ai100.newcomer.co, and was unveiled live onstage at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit in San Francisco.
